similar to: managing acl's via windows in samba 3.0 alpha 21

Update: Just for my personal assurance, I decided to recompile samba again making sure to use the parameters I thought I had used the first time (./configure --with-winbind --with-acl-support --with-ads --with-smbmount). Without changing any of my configs, I restarted samba and winbind. One trick: to change rights on a file, you must own it or be root. This is where the "force user =

Andrew, Thanks for your response. This reply is actually not a request for additional help. After much searching throught the lists and Google along with a lot of experimentation, I think I've got it (mostly) figure out. This post is just an effort to help others who might be struggling with the same issues as I was. I'm sure it's far from perfect and if anyone has suggestions on

I'm curious to what people are using for backing up their samba servers. Here's are some specs to consider: - 1TB (yes, that's terabyte) of data - multiple servers backup to one tape drive connected to a server (preferably a linux system) - using an autoloader (in this case, an HP 1/9 LTO system) - need to be able to backup daily changes and/or changes since last full backup

Sorry - I should have addressed this to Paul Eggleston who started this thread. Regardless who started it (the Samba + ACL howto), my offer still stands if I can be of any help. I'd be happy to help with this documentation, input, proof reading, whatever. There's definately a big lack here and the Samba team already has their hands full.

Intro: There have been a few postings on this subject with few answers. If anyone knows where to point those of us trying to work this out, or will enlighten us as to the limitations of ACL's and Samba, we would appreciate your help. So far, acl.bestbits.at does not have any information on this particular problem. Environment: Samba 3.0 alpha 21 or 23 (I skipped 22, but most likely it had

If you can see the server, but not shares, you most likely have not published any directories. What version of the BE agent are you using? I've noticed 4.6 works well (the install actually works well and will walk you through the setup to publish the directories to be backed up). It's often easier to just publish root (but exclude /proc /tmp). Also, I've found out that in the hosts

I am experimenting with MAC OS 9 using samba as a file server. I am using Thursby's DAVE to connect. For those who don't know, DAVE is a client utility that allows an OS 8 or 9 system to connect to windows file shares. The MAC can connect to both servers with no problems. However, when copying a file to the samba 3 server, I get the following error: The item <file name> could

Follow up to my question for those also looking for backup solutions: Thanks for the input, it was helpful and gave me some leads. For What it's worth: I've been testing Novastor's Novanet 8.5. Pretty impressive. It has a nice GUI interface or a command line menu system, backups performed well, recognized my library without any extra effort on my part. Pricing isn't too bad

Yes, they have a 30 day downloadable demo. Here's the link: http://www.network-backup.com/datasheets/nnet8linux.html The installation was a piece of cake.

Just wanted to thank those who have helped me (knowingly (such as Andrew Bartlett) and others unknowingly) get Samba set up to work with MS Active Directory and with ACL support working. As is typical in lists like these, there are way more requests than thanks. Being in the IT industry, I know personally the never-ending deluge of help requests and the seemingly very short list of thank

If you are not using a domain and have added the users directly with the smbpasswd utility, you can just cat the smbpasswd file. Typically, it's found in /usr/local/samba/private directory. If it's long, you might want to use more (or less). Rick Segeberg Provo Site Manager, IT Department The Waterford Institute rick.segeberg@waterford.org -----Original Message----- From:

I appreciate your response and I tried your solution. However, it does not seem to help. I am using MS Active Directory on a Windows 2000 server for the authentication and rights for the users. I realize AD is based on LDAP, but it's been changed to suit Microsoft's needs - meaning it's not "pure ldap". Based on what you said, I made sure to create a user and a few groups

Hi, I build an alpha23 samba3.0 system in win2k AD domain. Just a few days ago, it works very well. But in recent, I find it cannot work. I am sure it is the reason for kerberos authority. When I kinit a ticket successfully, it fails to run "smbclient \\Win2K-server\c$ -k", the error message will be as blow: Doing spnego session setup (blob length=109) Doing kerberos session setup

Hello everyone, I need to setup some directories (in RHL 7.2 running Samba 2.2.3a w/ W2K PDC) to allow multiple groups, each of which has different permissions. If this can be done on the Linux side, this would be preferred, but if it has to be done in Samba, any help in understanding how to make this happen is appreciated. I know Windows NT/W2K allows multiple groups and I would think Linux

We have experianced a strang behavior with QuarkXPress files. These files can be opened/modified/saved by user a, user b can open/modify the file but saving is not possible. With all other applications open/modify/save files is possible. We use: SuSE8.1, Samba 2.2.5, reiserfs. Directories/files are set 2770 Thank you for your help Markus

Hi all, As promised, I have started a howto document on setting up Samba with NT ACL support, based on experiences in my workplace, as documentation for this seems to be on the short side at the moment. It is available at the following address: http://www.bluelightning.org/linux/samba_acl_howto I have yet to convert it to proper DocBook format, and it needs more material (probably

Our tape backup software (run through windows) backs up items based on whether the archive attribute is set or not. If it is set, then it needs to be backed up. Then it removes the attribute. When a user modifies a file, the attribute is again set. This is how it normally works. Samba will not allow the Archive Attribute to be unchecked. Is there anyway to allow this functionality. Samba

Hello, I'm testing a Samba 4.1.10 ADC in a 2008 R2 level environment. I successfully setup a Win 2008R2 & Samba 4.1.10-sernet controller. But after adding Exchange 2013 things stopped working. I removed the Samba DC from AD, removed all leftovers in AD and re-added it as DC. Adding Samba as DC goes ok, no errors. But running repadmin /showreps gives me a 8418 error complaining about

Has anyone had the home directories of some Windows 2000 users become inundated with thousands (15k or so) of directories all of a sudden? This is of course a samba share on the samba PDC. It really renders the H:\ pretty useless. It also seems to occur only if you are logged onto a certain machine. Is anyone aware of any causes? Certain software packages that maybe create odd directories in a

What are the general reason why a samba share might be slow..? Especially those mapped network drive? What would probably be the cause of slowness in the access and mapping time? Need help Kumaran
